I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis (Bengaluru) in Feb 2018
Interview
bangalore recruitment drive. It was a day long affair on Saturday in a hotel. steps: case study, 3 rounds of technical and then HR. all elimination round
case study(1hr.): It was less of case study more of maths problems. 1)time series regression
2)scheduling
technical: they were trying to find is your thinking analytical or not.
discussion on case study, EOQ, 1 general logic based question, probability
Good:
-The co ordinators and the interviewers were very polite.
-Arranged for lunch, tea, coffee
Bad:
-Process started with 1hr case study at 8.15am only to get my turn for interview at around 5pm, and I got eliminated, its frustrating. Better planning could have been done.
-It was told that each round is an elimination round but we saw people doing case study at 12noon even when interviews were going on, so logically speaking it was not an elimination round.
Suggestion : Please make the process such people coming at 8am dont have to wait till 5pm from 1st round to 2nd round.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis
Interview
was good enough. The hr round asked basic questions like what role you are interested in, are you willing to relocate etc, the technical round was entirely about summer internship
